Hello all,

Wanted to know if someone would give me a little insight on carb jetting for cold weather.WE are going to try and run down South a nother month or so. Just wondering if anything needs changing.

Thanks,
Racerx

Racerx,

Which carb are you running? Is it restricted? This info could give one an idea of your carb setup situation. Which part of the South are you running?

Tim

Guess I should have give a little more info.

Joe,

I may consider dropping down one size for winter months to lean it out a little.

Thanks for the info. That s what I was thinking just not sure. Where do you run down your way? I know there ia a track near Montgomery.

Joe,

We are located in Montgomery city limits. Lagoon Park Raceway / Capital City Racing Club. Check us out @ lagoonparkrcraceway.com

Our site has links to just about anywhere you would like to visit if you are looking for 1/4 scale info.

Good luck, Tim

Very Cool website. I see the Boyd race is on the 18th. I would like to come down and check you guys out. I have a line of 1/4 scale stuff I am doing. It has done really well on ebay and the Hobby Connection sells it very well.
Some of the decals you can see on our home page.

Hey Tim

What time will the Big show begin on the 18th? Not sure how long it will take to get there. I am guessing a couple hours or better from here. I would like to come and see how you guys do it.
I will be adding a few new items this week to my page.

Joe,

I thought I would share an email that i received from Jamie (Belf28). He offers great Jet information in this email. Hope this helps...

Hey Tim im an engine tuner and here’s the way the jetting works.
There’s really no difference between 75 degrees and 35 degrees, what the difference is air quality/humidity.
If it’s humid then there’s no air so you have to lean the jet to match
the low quality of air... if its zero humidity then you can richen the
mixture to match the high quality of air.
You can buy a 10 times magnifying glass with light and read plugs.
What you’re looking for is where the electrode (porcelain) meets the steel
part of the plug; there will be little bits of aluminum in this area.
It’s just a coating off the top of the piston and it gathers in this
area of the plug.
What you want to see here are 3 little specs of aluminum evenly spaced
that’s jetted perfect! If you see a solid ring of aluminum the carb is
to lean!!!
p.s. 10 time magnify glass with light is a must (check radio shack) 30
times is to much reads specs on specs lol hope this helps.

Jamie, thanks for the help. Quarter scale racing needs guys like you offering up good information. Please, keep it coming.

Tim
